Since I can't drive and have trouble getting rides to places because of location, I started building something in the end of May. I want this to be a flowy slopestylish kind of trail with doubles hips step-ups step-downs and berms galore. This is all I have so far. It's hard to get out there everyday and dig with work and other things conflicting but I still get out every free second I have. We have 5 acres of medium-mild grade downhill to wa-522 right before the Echo Lake Exit.
It's really rough so light flaming haha. I just got to shape everything a little bit today because I put 5 hoses together and hauled it down there and made it rain. Its drying and settling now and I'll do it again this weekend. The pics don't really do it justice.



This took about 3 weeks to build all from scratch and pallets. I cut trees down for the framing underneath and its solid as a rock. I will probably have to change it next year because its Alder and they rot pretty bad. Forgot a picture of the landing.

Run up to about a 15-20ft step-down hip right

oh yeah i have a lot more to do. that wood berm took so many hours too build. I've never built anything like that before and it was tricky and i got stumped a lot. i wonder how much i would have done on the trail if i had made it strictly dirt
